“There is nothing with which every man is so afraid as getting to know how enormously much he is capable of doing and becoming.”
Soren Kierkegaard
“Woman once made equal to man becomes his superior”
Socrates
“All I worried about was what (Owings) was doing to me, instead of what I was doing to him. When you start worrying about that stuff, you're going down the wrong path.”
Dan Gable
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
Mark Twain
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Marianne Williamson
“Manage the fear of failure. It will visit many times as you work the plan. Face the fear in your mind. See it as a visitor coming to your door. Ask the fear four questions: Who are you? Why are you here? Who sent you? What do you have to tell me? Listen deep within and seriously consider what the fear is telling you. Then reevaluate your plan and, if necessary, adjust it in light of your new knowledge. Never stop simply because you are afraid that you may fail.”
Terence T. Gorski
“When I look back on all these worries, I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which had never happened”
Winston Churchill
